Had this weird call from some lady’s voice again, asking about insulations for the house. I think it’s like the tenth time this 020 number rings me up with the exact same spiel. Even though I’m on the TPS list, it honestly doesn’t seem to stop them at all.

I answered the call but there was nobody on the other end, so I just hung up.

Before you go and join the TPS, make sure you read ALL the info on their website – seriously, every little bit! Then have a think about how proper organisations are supposed to respect the list and who exactly can see it. Also, try googling stuff like ‘does blocking numbers actually stop scam calls?’ It’s quite an eye opener! The government set up a way to report dodgy scam calls, texts and emails a while back. You should look up ‘7726’ and also that email address ‘[email protected]’ for more details. Most people in the UK don’t bother reporting, and scammers just love that because it helps them keep going. So text scam numbers with all the details (silent calls too) to 7726 and respond when it asks to confirm. If your phone has a spam reporting option, use that too. It’s a hassle but the more people report, the better chances we have of stopping these idiots. Then share what you can here on this site.

Every day I get a call but when I answer, no one says a thing. It’s been happening quite regularly now.

I answered the phone with a quick hello but no one replied when I said my name, which immediately seemed dodgy. I just stayed quiet for a bit, and then the caller hung up after about a minute.

Wasn't sayin' a word when I answered the phone. After a short pause, some robotic voice just said "Bye" and hung up. I've gone ahead and blocked the number and marked it as spam.

I tried ringing them back but just ended up hanging up.

Loads of people don't bother reporting these con calls and that's exactly what the scam artists rely on. It's the reason these thieves keep targeting folks, especially those who are more vulnerable. Some comments here actually tell you how to let the authorities know about these scams. Plus, there's stuff about why just blocking numbers won't stop them at all. It's a real pain but knowing this stuff helps a bit, at least.

Got an email claiming to be from Lloyds Bank, seemed dodgy so I forwarded the header to the fraud squad. The call came from 020 3896 5071, just thought I’d warn others.

Got a call from 07368 815741, some robotic voice saying “Inland Revenue is going to prosecute you, press 1 immediately.” What a load of rubbish, total muppets!

Got a call that sounded like it was from Go Compare, but from the way the person spoke and all the noise in the background, seemed like some sort of scam to me - went straight to block.

Saw the number pop up but decided not to answer since it didn’t look familiar. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything. Funny thing is, it’s almost the same as another call I got a few days ago, just off by one digit.

On the 29th of October, 2026, I got a phone call from someone saying they were calling from a bank, talking about a couple of dodgy transactions on my account. They told me to hit 1 if I wanted to approve them or 2 if I wanted to talk to the bank’s security team. I didn’t pick either option and just ended the call.

They called but didn't leave any message. When I tried calling back, no one said anything and just ended the call. Quite odd.

Got a spam call that ended after just a couple secs. I’ve put a block on the number now.

Late last month I kept getting calls from an 0115 number, it rang twice and then hung up before I could get to the phone. This time I let my answer machine pick up and they just hung up again. Now a month later, they’ve started calling again, always about lunchtime. I’ve blocked the number now – 0115 683 9717.

Got a call around 6:51pm from some automated female voice claiming “crypto.com wants to give you an update”. I just ended the call straight away and couldn’t help but chuckle – no way crypto.com reaches out to users like that!

just like everyone i know, got a strange charge from argos on my card.

Got a call but they just dropped it straight away, felt dodgy like it might be a scam or something.

Had another one today, so straight onto my BT call guardian blocklist it goes. These robo calls are getting more pushy, ringing two random mobiles then switching to London numbers. I've noticed them also coming from places like Iceland, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. Makes me wonder if Labour would say this wouldn’t happen if we were still in the EU and sharing data. Come on Labour, sort it out!

They left a voicemail about some work-from-home job.

Got a call from someone pretending to be bank security about supposed fraud on my card. They said there were two withdrawals listed - one from Amazon and one from Zoom. Then they told me I'd never used this card before, so it looked fishy. That’s rubbish since, like loads of folks, I shop on Amazon all the time. Honestly, the whole thing sounded off, probably some dodgy computer-generated message. Definitely steer clear of this one!

Got a call from some Indian call centre asking if I owned the house. Didn’t realise they were chatting to my ansa phone, doh! They said they were from Link Services, but then I heard another person in the background talking about a totally different company. Pretty obvious it’s a scam. Stay well clear of those!

They rang me up and asked if I owned the house, I said no even though I actually do, and they just ended the call straight away. Honestly, this site isn't much use – it keeps the callers’ details hidden, making it hard to deal with these annoying calls. And now they’re asking you to pay for the info about who’s ringing you, plus they want your own personal info too, which I reckon is a bit risky for security.

My phone flagged it as spam, and it turned out to be right.
